Have tried out the satellite link in all weathers (except snow!). Works OK. Download speed normally 7 to 8 Mbps. Upload speed (to my amazement) 8 to 9 Mbps. Not a lot wrong with that. Only snag is the router. I had to dump my ADSL phone router and buy a cable router. Essential. Works fine, with the exception that my WiFi HP printer just does not agree with it. After a phenomenal amount of mucking around, said 'Enough!', and plugged in a USB cable. I'll fix it some other time. Mesklin A quick update.

The layout got 'crunched' some time ago, and I have had to rebuild or re-layout the stories as and when I got the chance. I will see what I can do to sort out the unreadable story. Always happy to assist a reader. Mesklin Lesley

Unfortunately, one of the five stories does not seem to appear and unable to be read. what a wonderfully amusing webste giving hours of laughter fond memories.

Wondered if my condition had deteriorated. But no, the dizzieness this time was the fault of Dave's great photies.

Somehow, I think that things are the wrong way round. 2 weeks holiday and 50 weeks work. That cannot be right, surely …
